Alexandria Roivas would be an awesome character!

She could have such cool B moves using the tome of eternal darkness.

And she could also use swords and guns like from the game for A-moves,maybe. she would be the best chareacter ever!

PS: I searched her name so if there has already been a thread about her I am sorry.

She looks too much like Zero Suit Samus, so I suggested Pious instead in another thread. Also, lets remember that Sakurai said no real guns, but she can survive with only Rune Magick and enchanted gladius.

Eternal Darkness was amazing. I dont think you'll get much support for this though, because the majority of people on this forum were probably playing smash while this game was being covered in dust in thier game cabinet. SHe owuld probably only use magick, no real weapons :p

P.S. I heard they were making another one, u know anything?

I endorse this thread. Alexandria is an awesome idea, though I'm not sure how likely she is.

True, she does look quite a bit like Zamus, but then again, she wears jeans, a tanktop and carries around a powered-up Gladius.

She could have a B-move that charges her A and B moves with a certain element (Red- Fire, extra damage, lower knockback. Blue - Ice, Same damage, Freezing. Green - Wind/Plants?, Lower damage, higher knockback. Purple - Poison, Adds Flower or Poison damage.).

Actually, I played both numerous times (playing Eternal Darkness completely and playing a buttload of SSBM), and I could definitely see Alex Roivas as a playable character.

Her attacks could revolve around using Rune Magicks. As for the alignment of said Magickal moves, it could vary with her costume color.
• If she's wearing her Red Team costume, her Magickal attacks would align with Chattur'gha.
• If she's wearing her Blue Team costume, her Magickal attacks would align with Ulyaoth.
• If she's wearing her Green Team costume, her Magickal attacks would align with Xel'lotath.
• If she's wearing her standard costume, her Magickal attacks would align with Mantorok.

Of course, the statistics of the attacks would stay the same per costume, seeing as how people would complain about being a specific team color because they wanted certain attack bonuses. Plus, the Magickal attacks wouldn't take as much time to cast in Brawl as they do in Eternal Darkness.

I'd like her in but does she have any chance (other than she only appeared on Nintendo)?

I suppose she would have just as much chance as a lot of other characters. I think we should have a character that uses primarily magic, though.

Zelda uses magic or do you mean magick (which Eternal Darkness uses)?

Ya, Zelda does use magic, but I'm talking about like Final Fantasy magic like fire, ice, and thunder and stuff. Like a character who uses that somehow. But I did forget about Zelda. I think they should put in the Red Mage from the original Final Fantasy, that would be good, too. Probably already an old thread about that one.

I just played through Eternal Darkness again. I love that game.

Heres a moveset. Unfortunately, She doesn't use actual "Elemental" spells in her game. What she does is use runes to construct spells. There are only three spells in her in-game arsenal that are actually "Attack" spells (And one of those is technically a "Defense" spell). Still, that is more than enough to construct a moveset.

Alexandra Roivas
--------------------

Note on spells: In the game she could have her spells set on three different kinds of "circles of power." These circles consisted of three points (Weakest) Five Points (Medium) and seven points (Strongest). My idea is to make each move a charge attack. The spell can begin, and if you let go of the button, it will let off the weak version. If you let it off as the fifth rune appears, you get the Medium version, and so on. It takes about half of Samus's Charge shot to get the Mid level spell, and a full samus charge to get the seventh. The exception is the "Change alignment" move. If Alex is hit before he is done charging, the spell cannot be cast. Alex cannot hold the charge of a move by Rolling out of it.
--------------------

A moves. I such at A-moves, so if someone would like to do a set for me, that would be much appreciated. Remember, she uses a Gladius (Ancient Roman sword). Thats about it, other than that, go crazy, and take the game to heart (It has a funky "Finishing move" system, similar to Onimusha).

---------------------

B moves:

----

Down B: Change Alignment.
When Alex uses this move, she randomly changes to one of four alignments, Ch'tturga(Red), Xellototh (Green), Ulyouth (Blue), and Mantorok (Purple). These changes offer no stat enhancements except in the "Enchant Weapon" spell, and afford different Super moves and spell effects in some moves. Mantorok is very rare, as it is a bit stronger than the others. it takes about as long as the switch between Zelda and Sheik to use.

----

Up B: Damage Field.
Sets up a barrier around Alex that will protect her from harm. The barrier only lasts about 5 seconds. Only one barrier can be out at a time. Alex can walk through the damage field, but enemies cannot without harming themselves. the 5 and 7 point spells have "Floors" that Alex or a trapped enemy could stand on, thus making this a viable recovery move (IF a little sucky).

Three-Point version: A small barrier will appear around Alex. It will do no damage, but will have a very small amount of knockback, like Falco's blaster Knockback. Alignment changes the color and nothing else. Barrier only protects Alex on two sides. The Barrier can be blown away by a strong attack (Though an attack cannot hit the shield and hit Alex in the same swing, though it can hit alex's teammate, or another one of the attacker's enemies)

Five-point Version: A larger barrier appears. It does small damage (1 or two per hit) but has very small knockback. The Barrier is much stronger, and can stand more large attacks before it breaks. Alignment changes the color. The move has a "Cieling" and as thus, opponents can stand on it, though it will do them more harm then good.

Seven point version: This barrier is much large than the Five-point one. it does slightly more damage, and is several character-widths in width, so it would be possible to actually "trap" an opponent inside (Which is technically possible for the 3 and 5 point versions too, though more difficult). Has a cieling. Mantorok Rune causes the barrier to cause a "Poison" state, similar to Lips' stick.

----

Foreward B: Magick attack
A direct attack from alex. It materializes as a stream of electrical energy emanating from Alex's Hand, travelling across the ground (At the rate a Pikachu thundershock putters along), and striking an enemy. The enemy must, of course, be touching the ground. Also, it doesn't just stocp there. If there are enemies standing behind the first enemy, it will pass through the first enemy (While striking them) and go after the second one. If no enemies are standing on the ground, the spell will fizzle. the move never has more knockback than Ness's PK thunder.

3-point: Somewhat mid-range attack. Think Mario Fireball. something that it is safe to spam.
5-point: Stronger. Mid-charge samus Charge-shot strong.
7-pont: A little stronger than a fully charged Charge shot from Samus. Mantorok alignment will poison them for a little while.

----

Neutral B: Enchant weapon
Enchants Alex's Gladius with her alignment's power. Always lasts about the time it takes a hammer or star to run out. Note that this spell can only be charged to three, but must be charged rune-by-rune, for a Falcon-punch alotment of time.

Chtturga: Strength boost. Attacks do more damage.
Xellototh: Constitution boost. Makes Alex heavier, so enemies can't knock her away as easily. Does not effect her jumping like a Metal box would.
Ulyouth: Magic boost. Makes Alex's B-moves stronger.
Mantorok: No stat boost. Attacks cause poison status.

----

Taunt: She drops her weapon, falls to the floor, and says, "This CAN'T be happening!"

----

Super: Summon Ancient
Summons an Ancient Elder God to reight down their own brand of butt-kicking on the field.

Ch'tturga: A giant Lobster-monster. Rains damaging red lightening bolts on the field. Alex's pecentage is healed slightly.
Xellototh: A large creature with four arms. sort of like a green alien face-hugger with a huge eye in the middle. Her lightening homes in on the opponents heads, does does not do as much damage. It does have a higher knockback.
Ulyouth: A giant Jellyfish creature. He fires one lightening bold, and it travels from one end of the stage to the other, pushing and damaging the opponents.
Mantorock: A giant mass of purple goo with a mouth. He appears at the bottom of the screen and fires poisonous, damaging gas clouds.

Well Considering the developer of Eternal Darkness, Silicon Knights, has already jumped ship and started developing for XBox, I'd be surprised if any of their IP [Intellectual Property] appeared even in trophy form.

Well maybe some of their models from Twin Snakes, but Eternal Darkness is a different story entirely.

And face it, that game was overraterd.

Eternal Darkness was a third-person, psychological horror/history game. It wasn't filled with cheap scares or Zombies like Resident evil. It had you fighting against the underlings of these tremendous, feuding gods with unimaginable powers, and they came through some dimensional rift in Alexandra's basement. But it did have original game devices that was sadly never imitated.

Ignorance is like Mayonnaise on a BLT.

Annoying.

Good for you. You have just betrayed yourself out of playing one of the best Survival Horror games on the gamecube.

Stupid Reason. Disregard.
uses pistols
Solid Snake uses guns more than Alexandra EVER uses guns in ED. Guns suck in ED, they are too weak, enemies can dodge them, and most bosses are immune to them. You're usually better off using magick or just using the melee weapon your character uses.

wasnt eternal darkness some first person zombie shooter?
Not even close.

Edit:

So are the Metal Gear games. Good job taking those into account.

I played eternal Darkness. It wasn't the BEST game ever, but it was okay. 6.5/10 I guess. However, I can say with all my heart that Pious was the hands-down pimp of the game :pimp: and should be in brawl more than Alex

Setting you up the bomb.
I stated this somewhere before but Silicon Knights (the game's developer) = Micro$oft's Newest *****
So that pretty much rules out even her already slim chances as a 3rd party contender...

It's been a long time, but I'm a super-huge fan of Alex being a character in brawl. Now, what two people have said is that Silicon Knights is all for X-box/microsoft at the moment. I'm not sure if this is true or not. But I do know it doesn't matter. At the end of the credits for the game, all copyrights to the game, scenario, characters, music, etc, belonged to Nintendo. So really, there is nothing like that Microsoft thing stopping Alex from being a character.

This topic NEEDS a bump. Where's the love for Alex guys? She'd be super perfect for Brawl.
Also, the moveset on the first page is quite nice. absolutely LOVE the taunt.

Even if Silicon Knights is Microsoft now... Alex would still ROCK for Brawl...
